Passed by whom? Somewhere outside the US? This is something I have never 
heard before. I've been involved with homebuilt aviation and aircraft 
restoration since 1967 and built components and airframes using Hexcel, 
T-88, Epon, and FPL-16A with the only issue about approval coming on a 
German glider which had a mfr - approved repair procedure specifying 
which epoxy products were to be used.

Sorry Chris, perhaps the use of the word "only" was wrong.  This is the quote from the System Three site.

T-88 has been used for years in the building of experimental wooden aircraft and for woodworkers who desire a clear glue line. More recently T-88 has been approved by the FAA for the repair of certified wooden aircraft on a case-by-case rather than blanket basis. Check with us for the current status prior to use on certified aircraft. T-88 meets the requirements of MIL-A-81236(OS) andCID-A-A-3053.
